'YARN-SEPARATOR FOR SPINNING 0R TWISTING MACHINES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 440,811, dated November18, 1890.

Application filed January 13,1890. Serial No. 336,732. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FLOYDYCRANSKA, of Moosup, in the county of lVindhamand State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement inYarn-Separators for Spinning or Twisting Machines; and I hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification.

This invention has reference to an improvement in separators forspinning or twisting frames adapted for use on the class of spinning ortwisting frames in which the rings are secured to brackets projectingfrom the ring-rail; and it consists in the peculiar and novelconstruction and arrangement of the separators and their supportingdevices, as will be more fully set forth hereinafter.

Figure 1 is a front view of part of a spinning or twisting machine,showing my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of thesame. Fig. 3 is a top View of part of the ring-rail, showing twoseparators in section.

Similar numerals of reference indicate cor responding parts in all thefigures.

In the drawings, the number at indicates one of the end frames of aspinning or twisting machine; 5, the bolster-rail, in which thespindle-bearing is secured; 6, the spindles; 7, the ring-rail proper, towhich the forward-projecting brackets S, supporting the rings 9, aresecured. Located between the brackets 8 are the thin plates 10, formingpartitions to separate one spindle from the next adjoining spindles, sothat any loose end on one spindle cannot interfere with the otherspindles next to it. The partition-plates 10 are secured to the brackets11, each consisting of a sleeve provided with the clamp-screw 13 and aprojecting arm. The brackets are secured to the rod or shaft 12,journaled in the end frames and in long machines atintervals inbearings. At one or both ends of the shaft 12 a crank 14 (indicated inFig. 2 in broken lines) is secured.

15 is a stop-pin projecting from the end frame.

The partition-plates or separators 10 may be of such length that theyrest 011 the bolster-rail, or they may be of the length shown in thedrawings, so as to protect the spindles between the upper and lower endof the traverse of the ring-rail. As shown in the drawings, the rearedge of the separator-plate 10 may rest against the ring-rail betweenthe brackets 8, the ring-rail sliding on the rear edge of theseparators. As all the separators are secured to the shaft 12, byturning the crank 14; one quarter all the separators Will be raisedsimultaneously, and all the spindles will be accessible for doffing.

hen it is desirable to suspend the separators, so that their rear edgeswill not bear on the reciprocating ring-rail, the stop-pin 15 is placedon one or both of the end frames and the cranlearm adjusted on the shaft12, so that the said crank arm or arms bear against the stop-pin whenthe separator-plates 10 are close to but not in contact with thering-rail 7.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. In a spinning or twisting machine, thecombination, with the ring-rail 7, provided with the brackets 8 andrings 9, and the spindles, of the partitions 1.0, the brackets 11, andshaft 12, constructed to separate the rings and spindles, as described.

2. The combination, with the bolster-rail, the end frames, the spindles,and the rail 7, provided with the brackets 8 and rings 9, of theseparator-plates 10, the brackets 11, the shaft 12, and crank let,constructed to raise the separator-plates, as described.

FLOYD CRANSKA.
